been reading national geographic. a few eye-catchers in this july 07 issue.

A nationwide health survey in 2005 concluded that for every thousand children under age five living in the North-Western Province, there were 1,353 cases of malaria. An annual rate of more than 100 percent seems impossible, a typo. It is not. What it means is that many children are infected with malaria more than once a year.

It's easy to list every vaccine that can prevent a parasitic disease in humans. There is none.

aimee mann's version of 'the scientist' fits in very nicely here.

I was just guessin' at numbers and figures,
Pulling your puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart.

It's such a shame.

i'm so excited about holland. just had a peek at the entry list - don't think i ever recognised so many names before! i just counted 17.

stephen cockerill - he made the video 'the boat whisperer' where he planted video cams on the laser, on the stern and on the mast looking down. rooster sailing!

the five folks from aussie. will be great to see them again.

mathieu frei. i remember him winning the aus laser nationals in brisbane. 4.7 world champion as well i believe.

steven krol and steven le fevre who placed second and third last year. fevre was leading the qingdao olympic test event for a while - i've seen him rather often the last 7 years eh? aosc, opti worlds, radial worlds. rolph oudshoorn who was also leading the 4.7s in lake hourtin last year. somehow the dutch always do well wherever i go, how about at home then?

and perhaps tiffany. haha.

oh boy oh boy.

and meanwhile over in lake ontario ms nurul elia is leading victoria. that's laughable.

wow, incredible, all my posts are about sailing.
